Welcome

This is my playground for poetry written for children with ideas and inspiration for writing your own poems. Come on in. Sit for a spell, have a cup of words to swirl around and make your own cup of poetry. I'm so glad you are here. I hope you'll find the Kingdom of Poetry a fun place to be.

SCARVES

On Monday, I wore a yellow scarfwhen I skipped off to school.The green scarf I wore on Tuesdaymade me feel too cool.On Wednesday, I wore a red scarfknotted in Scottish plaid.On Thursday, I tied my gray scarf,it was the warmest that I had.Then on Friday,I wore all the scarves hometrying not to look a fool.The reason that I wore them allis I'd left my scarves at school.

Sometimes a scarf is called a muffler. Can you guess why it got that name? Do you wear scarves? What is your favorite color? Can you write a poem today that matches colors with days of the week? Or maybe you'd like to try singing your favorite Christmas songs on each day of the week. Whatever you decide to write about, have fun. Did you know poems make great holiday presents?
